00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,700
how to bend acrylic pipe perfectly step

2
00:00:03,210 --> 00:00:09,480
one measure the inner diameter of your

3
00:00:05,700 --> 00:00:10,110
pipe - 18 millimeter and outside is 22

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,080
millimeter

5
00:00:10,110 --> 00:00:15,210
step 2 get a silicon rod that fits on

6
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:18,510
the inside of your pipe mine is a

7
00:00:15,210 --> 00:00:20,699
medical silicone rod and it's exactly 18

8
00:00:18,510 --> 00:00:23,039
millimeter step 3

9
00:00:20,699 --> 00:00:26,099
cut your silicon rod to length and then

10
00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:30,660
cut a taper at one side drill a hole

11
00:00:26,099 --> 00:00:32,880
through the table side step 4 use a

12
00:00:30,660 --> 00:00:34,829
really strong string and thread it

13
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,540
through that hole you just drilled in

14
00:00:34,829 --> 00:00:39,600
the silicon rod I have noticed that

15
00:00:36,540 --> 00:00:41,610
bending a thin metal wire and using that

16
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:44,309
as a kind of a needle really helps with

17
00:00:41,610 --> 00:00:46,200
this step 5 here I'm putting some corn

18
00:00:44,309 --> 00:00:48,480
flour starch on the silicon rod to make

19
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:51,000
it slide easier you can also try washing

20
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:53,309
up liquid or soapy water and that's all

21
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,410
preparation done so we can finally

22
00:00:53,309 --> 00:00:57,629
thread our silicon rod through the

23
00:00:55,410 --> 00:01:01,770
acrylic pipe put on some gloves and

24
00:00:57,629 --> 00:01:04,290
start up your heat gun step 6

25
00:01:01,770 --> 00:01:06,900
bending the acrylic pipe try to heat up

26
00:01:04,290 --> 00:01:09,060
the acrylic pipe as evenly as you can

27
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:11,189
you can adjust the temperature by moving

28
00:01:09,060 --> 00:01:13,020
the silicon rod closer or further away

29
00:01:11,189 --> 00:01:15,119
from the heat gun and in my experience

30
00:01:13,020 --> 00:01:17,610
the further away you are and the more

31
00:01:15,119 --> 00:01:20,700
patience you spend and the slower you do

32
00:01:17,610 --> 00:01:22,950
this step the better the result once you

33
00:01:20,700 --> 00:01:25,799
feel that critics often hang up you can

34
00:01:22,950 --> 00:01:27,540
do your band I like to try to stay in

35
00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:30,509
the heat of the heat gun but a little

36
00:01:27,540 --> 00:01:32,549
bit further away constantly keeping the

37
00:01:30,509 --> 00:01:35,130
acrylic warm while I'm doing the band

38
00:01:32,549 --> 00:01:38,780
and then removing the acrylic from the

39
00:01:35,130 --> 00:01:38,780
heat gun when I'm happy with the shape

40
00:01:42,439 --> 00:01:48,360
so this was my first try and it's not

41
00:01:45,659 --> 00:01:50,340
perfect you can see here I let the heat

42
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,470
go a little bit too far so we have these

43
00:01:50,340 --> 00:01:54,990
ugly bubbles and the whole pipe is a

44
00:01:52,470 --> 00:01:57,299
little cloudy I think it was because my

45
00:01:54,990 --> 00:01:59,490
gloves were really oily so I was a

46
00:01:57,299 --> 00:02:02,219
stupid choice of gloves the corn flour

47
00:01:59,490 --> 00:02:04,409
starch normally doesn't cloud my pipes

48
00:02:02,219 --> 00:02:06,450
but for the second try I wanted to use

49
00:02:04,409 --> 00:02:08,640
washing up liquid and clean gloves

50
00:02:06,450 --> 00:02:11,190
instead let's see how that went for the

51
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:12,610
second try I went with a really tight

52
00:02:11,190 --> 00:02:15,130
radius

53
00:02:12,610 --> 00:02:17,230
as you can see here I think I got greedy

54
00:02:15,130 --> 00:02:19,960
and went with a little bit too tight

55
00:02:17,230 --> 00:02:23,140
radius the pipe looks clear though no

56
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:25,540
more cloudiness and I would recommend

57
00:02:23,140 --> 00:02:27,340
you to order more material than what you

58
00:02:25,540 --> 00:02:29,800
need for your project because you will

59
00:02:27,340 --> 00:02:30,400
have some failed pipe practice makes

60
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:35,280
perfect

61
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:35,280
as always okay third time's the charm

62
00:02:51,090 --> 00:02:56,470
whoever said that perfection does not

63
00:02:53,650 --> 00:02:58,990
exist and that it's a fool's errand to

64
00:02:56,470 --> 00:03:02,860
pursue it did not look at my son nail

65
00:02:58,990 --> 00:03:05,230
picture in 4k resolution and way I hope

66
00:03:02,860 --> 00:03:07,720
you enjoyed this tutorial it's a true

67
00:03:05,230 --> 00:03:10,000
pleasure to bend acrylic pipes and now

68
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:12,970
you have to make up a project just to be

69
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,070
able to experience it the reason why I'm

70
00:03:12,970 --> 00:03:17,760
bending so much acrylic pipe right now

71
00:03:15,070 --> 00:03:20,769
is because of the marble machine axe

72
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:22,959
here I'm using bent acrylic pipe for

73
00:03:20,769 --> 00:03:25,300
marble transportation connecting the

74
00:03:22,959 --> 00:03:27,280
demagnetizer with the marble conveyor

75
00:03:25,300 --> 00:03:29,230
belt and higher up on a machine have

76
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,360
connected the outlet from the conveyor

77
00:03:29,230 --> 00:03:33,580
belt and the fish star with a marble

78
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:38,670
divider and also the marble divider

79
00:03:33,580 --> 00:03:38,670
itself is made from bent PMA pipe

80
00:03:39,830 --> 00:03:48,410
I have just started to work on the most

81
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,660
difficult acrylic pipe bending project

82
00:03:48,410 --> 00:03:53,300
of the whole marble machine exfilled I

83
00:03:50,660 --> 00:03:55,520
need to connect the marble spreader that

84
00:03:53,300 --> 00:03:58,430
I built in plywood with these metal

85
00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:00,230
rails and all the pipes want to collide

86
00:03:58,430 --> 00:04:02,630
with each other I need to find perfect

87
00:04:00,230 --> 00:04:04,940
routing for this to work here I'm

88
00:04:02,630 --> 00:04:06,740
working on channel 22 which is the last

89
00:04:04,940 --> 00:04:08,660
channel of the vibraphone and there's a

90
00:04:06,740 --> 00:04:11,570
total of 38 channels

91
00:04:08,660 --> 00:04:14,210
signed need to make 38 individual pipes

92
00:04:11,570 --> 00:04:16,940
and I'm using a TIG filler rod to create

93
00:04:14,210 --> 00:04:19,070
a band template to get a feel for what

94
00:04:16,940 --> 00:04:21,680
kind of geometry I need a pipe to be

95
00:04:19,070 --> 00:04:23,960
then I can use this plan template to

96
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:28,430
create a general shape for the pipe oh

97
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:29,360
oh oh hold on what's this beauty if you

98
00:04:28,430 --> 00:04:32,510
remembered

99
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:35,480
I found this stud welding CNC machine

100
00:04:32,510 --> 00:04:37,160
that I thought was amazing and I reached

101
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,020
out to them and as if they wanted to

102
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,150
collaborate and then something truly

103
00:04:39,020 --> 00:04:43,460
beautiful happen because you the viewer

104
00:04:41,150 --> 00:04:46,220
started to leave comments to HPS

105
00:04:43,460 --> 00:04:49,310
explaining why they should collab with

106
00:04:46,220 --> 00:04:51,350
me on the machine X my favorite was that

107
00:04:49,310 --> 00:04:55,730
they should lift up an artist from the

108
00:04:51,350 --> 00:04:58,220
sunken Coast vortex I went back to send

109
00:04:55,730 --> 00:05:01,790
an email to HPS and when I opened my

110
00:04:58,220 --> 00:05:04,820
email I found an email from HBS that's

111
00:05:01,790 --> 00:05:06,590
thanks to all your comments thank you so

112
00:05:04,820 --> 00:05:08,990
much for sticking up for the machine X

113
00:05:06,590 --> 00:05:11,180
and thanks to HBS for being positive

114
00:05:08,990 --> 00:05:13,400
towards the project I send some

115
00:05:11,180 --> 00:05:16,130
requirements and they sent me this test

116
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:18,860
piece and I just want to show you how

117
00:05:16,130 --> 00:05:21,169
extremely precise this is here I'm using

118
00:05:18,860 --> 00:05:23,660
a micrometer which is measuring

119
00:05:21,169 --> 00:05:25,940
millimeter when you hear the first click

120
00:05:23,660 --> 00:05:31,210
of the clutch of the micrometer that's

121
00:05:25,940 --> 00:05:34,130
when you should read your value 18 I'm

122
00:05:31,210 --> 00:05:36,110
actually measuring quite crooked so if I

123
00:05:34,130 --> 00:05:39,790
had a place to measure more straight we

124
00:05:36,110 --> 00:05:39,790
would get even better result

125
00:05:41,530 --> 00:05:49,130
this machine is down to thousands of a

126
00:05:45,500 --> 00:05:51,640
millimeter in precision it's just so

127
00:05:49,130 --> 00:05:51,640
promising

[Music]

129
00:05:59,380 --> 00:06:03,620
we're looking at using my manual

130
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,960
programming pin system that I already

131
00:06:03,620 --> 00:06:08,180
built for me when I'm composing music

132
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,940
for the machine X and then using this

133
00:06:08,180 --> 00:06:14,450
more sturdy reliable pre-programmed

134
00:06:10,940 --> 00:06:18,080
precise studwelding programming pin

135
00:06:14,450 --> 00:06:19,670
system from HBS for the world tour so we

136
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,160
can have the best out of two worlds

137
00:06:19,670 --> 00:06:24,350
there I'm completely sidetracked in this

138
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:27,680
video now I'm just so happy about this

139
00:06:24,350 --> 00:06:30,050
prospect let's go back to some PMMA pipe

140
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:33,680
ending shall we

141
00:06:30,050 --> 00:06:36,080
I'm using the template and creating the

142
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:38,330
general shape and here I'm making a

143
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:41,360
little mark so I can cut it to length

144
00:06:38,330 --> 00:06:45,500
and then I can open the marble spreader

145
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:48,020
and see if the pipe fits and this first

146
00:06:45,500 --> 00:06:54,440
pipe actually fits perfectly you can see

147
00:06:48,020 --> 00:06:57,200
the marble is coming out there the first

148
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,280
type is easiest the consecutive pipes

149
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,830
are going to be much more difficult

150
00:06:58,280 --> 00:07:02,870
because they have the problem of

151
00:07:00,830 --> 00:07:05,480
colliding with each other this is the

152
00:07:02,870 --> 00:07:10,990
moment where I realized I made three

153
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:10,990
pipes and I have 35 pipes to go

154
00:07:11,810 --> 00:07:14,879

[Applause]

156
00:07:26,670 --> 00:07:31,630
in situations like this where I need to

157
00:07:29,230 --> 00:07:33,370
do really repetitive work which happens

158
00:07:31,630 --> 00:07:38,290
a lot on a marble machine next due to

159
00:07:33,370 --> 00:07:42,070
its 38 channels I keep myself going by

160
00:07:38,290 --> 00:07:46,650
repeating an inner mantra it goes like

161
00:07:42,070 --> 00:07:50,080
this world tour world tour world tour

162
00:07:46,650 --> 00:07:52,480
but seriously I totally underestimated

163
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:55,300
how time-consuming it was to make these

164
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:59,110
pipes so over eight hours later I had

165
00:07:55,300 --> 00:08:01,930
managed to do 11 out of 38 pipes and had

166
00:07:59,110 --> 00:08:04,870
to call it a day I will return to finish

167
00:08:01,930 --> 00:08:07,300
this task as soon as possible but for

168
00:08:04,870 --> 00:08:10,950
now I could just check the pipes I made

169
00:08:07,300 --> 00:08:10,950
and they seem to work well

was like two marbles showed me the way

175
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:58,150
out of my studio and into the Sun I

176
00:09:55,630 --> 00:10:00,580
spent a little time inside my Studios I
